Brown rice salad with whey dressing

April 8, 2020 by Ariel Leave a Comment

A fun salad that you can eat warmed up or cold with a nice crunch and a sweet whey dressing.

Top it with a poached egg and make it a meal or enjoy it on it’s own or as a side.  Personally, the version with the poached egg is my favorite and with a few droplet of hot sauce it’s even better!
